A: l x w = a formula for area
l = w + 48 length
w(w+48) = 3024 substitute l with w+48
w^2 + 48w -3024=0 —solution to part A
B: w^2 + 48w - 3024 = 0 factor
(w-36)(w+84) = 0
Solutions for width = 36,-84
A width can’t be negative, so the width is 36 inches
Answer:
z=12
Step-by-step explanation:
divide by 1/2 to get the variable z by itself
Answer:
y = -7 and x = -36
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 4y = -8
5y - 1 = x
→ Substitute 5y - 1 into x - 4y = -8
5y - 1 - 4y = -8
→ Simplify
y - 1 = -8
→ Add 1 to both sides
y = -7
→ Substitute y = -7 into 5y - 1
( 5 × -7 ) - 1 = -36
4485 square feet of grass ... 3/4 of an hour
x square feet of grass = ? ... 1 hour
If you would like to know how many square feet of grass can be fertilized per hour, you can calculate this using the following steps:
4485 * 1 = 3/4 * x
4485 = 3/4 * x /*4/3
x = 4485 * 4 / 3
x = 5980 square feet
Result: 5980 square feet of grass can be fertilized in one hour.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by adding 9 to both sides, obtaining: √(x + 9) = 5.
Square both sides, obtaining: x + 9 = 25.
Subtract 9 from both sides: x = 16
Note that √(16+9) - 9 = -4, as required.
